Olive, I bet the smell of those flowers is heaven. We are to have more rain this week....I am really tired of it. But I think I trees need it...they have suffered from the last 3 years of draught conditions. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

It;s funny that you mentioned gardenias. I was setting out on my front patio reading the throw newspaper and I looked over at my two bushes and they look pitiful. Need to prune and give them some Miracle Grow. I forget that the sprinklers miss some of the plants.Your gardenias are so very pretty and I know they smell heavenly. Thanks so much for this post - I need to take better care of my gardenias, I tend to only focus on my roses, shame on me.Have a great week Olive.Mary

I swear it looked like a frog! I always think of my Dad whenever I see gardenias, because he thinks they stink! I love them and for some reason think they look extra beautiful in a silver cup. But not when there's a frog on them.

I love gardenias, but they don't love me! One whiff of that heavenly smell and I start sneezing... and sneezing...AND sneezing!! We had two by our side porch, but we had to get rid of them for that reason. Luckily, a very sweet young lady posted on craigslist that she would remove any bushes if she could have them to replant on her farm. My gardenias now live in Fort Valley GA. Your dripping gardenias are beautiful, and I do see the frog :-) Hope your summer is a nice one! Best, Vicki

Its a shame the rain ruined your gardenias, but I'll bet the fragrance is still lovely. I pruned ours back this winter and we don't have many blooms this year. Hopefully, some of the new growth will have some soon. Thanks for sharing yours.
